Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

The soldiers' desire for battle is written on their faces, especially those who have experienced battles and have experience in killing enemies, who are even more eager to return to the battlefield again and use the weapons in their hands to harvest the lives of the enemies! This is not because the soldiers are so bloodthirsty, but because the soldiers deeply understand that only by destroying all the invaders can they be worthy of the innocent people who died and were injured!

Well, the nature of the Beishan Detachment was destined to not have many offensive opportunities when the headquarters gave it its organization. After all, there was a word "security" in the middle of the Beishan Detachment. To put it bluntly, the Beishan Detachment existed to protect the Liangjia Village Arsenal! And the Liangjia Village Arsenal existed to solve the equipment problems of the First Division, the Second Division, and the Beiyue District!

However, this year's situation was special. A large-scale battle in Ping'an County took down four counties, which led to the large-scale expansion and connection of the entire Taihang base. The troops that participated in the battle, not counting the heavy mortars, light machine guns, and submachine guns obtained by the 385th Brigade, but the local regiments that participated in the battle had a good meal!

For example, the comrades of the two local regiments who followed Lao Kong in the battle at Yangtou Cliff, although they did not fire many shots throughout the whole process, but when the spoils were counted at the end, each regiment was allocated enough Japanese equipment to arm a battalion! Japanese equipment, it can still arm a battalion, this is a huge benefit!
Do you believe that if these equipments were obtained in the early days of the war, the comrades of the main regiment would go crazy for them? But now, our commander Kong Jie waved his hand and gave them directly to the local regiment.

Of course, Kong Jie did not get nothing. The supplies sent from Shouyang and the supplies from Yangquan were enough to fill the New Second Regiment! When Kong Jie, Ding Wei and Li Yunlong, three old comrades, went to Ping'an County for a meeting, Kong Jie boasted to Li Yunlong: "Our New Second Regiment now has a full combat force of 3000, and the artillery has 6 heavy mortars!"

"My new regiment is not bad either. We have heavy mortars, and our manpower is not lacking either. We also have a combat effectiveness of more than 4000 people! Moreover, I recently exchanged 200 submachine guns from the arsenal and formed two submachine gun companies! Hehe, submachine guns, assault rifles, light machine guns... all of them are capable of continuous firepower. When we have to fight the Japs with bayonets, it will be a one-sided massacre!" said Ding Wei.

"Well, Old Li is not bad either, we only have 8 battalions!" said Li Yunlong.

"Okay, we are all old comrades, why are you setting an ambush? Their battalion has at most 600 people, and your battalion has more than a thousand. It's not worth mentioning you!" Kong Jie said after taking a puff of his pipe.

"Okay, old two, it's rare for us to get together for a meal, so stop bragging to each other!" Ding Wei said, "With our three regiments guarding here, we are the most stable iron triangle in the entire northern Taihang area! But our New 1st Regiment is not like you, guarding the Zhengtai Line. Those are your family's vegetable gardens. Whenever you need supplies, you can go and get them!"

"Lao Ding, how about we change, and let our New Second Regiment also guard the county town and collect taxes? You just don't know how lucky you are. You don't have to do anything and the taxes are coming in!" Kong Jie said very dissatisfiedly.

"Hahaha..." The three old comrades burst into laughter, only Xing Weiguo remained silent.

"Old Xing, what's wrong? Do you miss your old unit? After the meeting, will you go back and take a look?" Zhao Danian asked.

"That's not the case. It's just that after all the trouble we've done, the Japanese devils actually refrained from retaliating. I always feel uneasy!" said Xing Weiguo.

"It's impossible for the Japanese to not want revenge! According to the telegram from headquarters, the Japanese are conducting a small-scale test in northwestern Shanxi, and I'm afraid they are going to launch a sweep in northwestern Shanxi!" Zhu Xingyu said. "If they can't defeat southeastern Shanxi, they're going to cause trouble in northwestern Shanxi? When did these little Japanese learn to pick on the weak?" Ding Wei said.

"An easy target? The people in northwest Shanxi are no easy targets! If it weren't for the difficulty for armored vehicles and tanks to cross the Yellow River, the Japanese would have most likely encountered our armored forces this time!" Li Yuexuan, who was also silent, thought silently in his heart.

"What's happening in Northwest Shanxi is too far away from us. We in Southeast Shanxi can't control what's happening in Northwest Shanxi! But the headquarters has another report saying that the Japanese are not behaving well in Taiyue District either!"

"Taiyue District? Isn't that where our brigade commander is? I heard that the brigade commander gave up Qinyuan City and then cut off the enemy's supply lines. It's been almost a year, right? Are the Japanese trying to open up the transportation lines and rescue those Japanese? Or are they confident that they can deal with our brigade commander? Our brigade commander is absolutely good at ambushing. I'm afraid the Japanese are going to send supplies to our brigade commander again this time!"

"Old Kong is right. I, Old Li, am not afraid of anything in my life except my brigade commander. That's true..." Li Yunlong said and shook his head, indicating that he was really scared.

"Okay, enough of the small talk, let's start the meeting!" Zhu Xingyu said, "The first thing to do at the meeting is that the headquarters ordered our bases to be strictly guarded to ensure the autumn harvest and autumn planting of the people. This is very important, and everyone must be prepared! Secondly, the headquarters requires our troops to continue to implement the policy of elite troops and not to expand blindly in order to ensure food supply!"

"The third thing is that it has been raining a lot recently. Everyone should keep an eye on the rivers in their respective bases and make sure no floods occur!"

"As for the last thing..." Zhu Xingyu smiled mysteriously and said, "The last thing is that the Liangjia Village Arsenal has added a batch of 60mm mortars. They plan to add 18 60mm mortars to each of your regiments. After the meeting, you can take them back! In addition, you need to select artillery cadets to report to Ping'an County for unified training."

"Wait a minute? 60mm mortar?" Li Yunlong didn't listen to anything else. When he heard about the 60mm mortar, his eyes widened immediately: "Good fellow, Peregrine Falcon, you didn't say anything, but you set off a big firecracker here!"

"Ahem, look how anxious Old Li is. Why don't you finish the previous discussion first and then ask about the mortar? I'm not in a hurry! Captain, we have also understood the situation conveyed by the superiors. Let the organization rest assured. We will definitely ensure the autumn harvest and autumn planting, ensure that the troops are well-trained and the government is streamlined, and we will also take good care of the rivers and waterways! Um, Peregrine, can you tell me about the performance of the 60 mortar?"

Listening to what Li Yunlong and Ding Wei said, Kong Jie took a deep puff of his pipe and looked at Li Yuexuan with burning eyes without saying a word. He knew that if he said one more word, he would have to hear the data later.

"Ahem, since you asked, let's talk about the 60 mortar first!" Li Yuexuan looked at Zhao Danian and Zhu Xingyu helplessly, and then said: "This 60 mortar is a copy of the 31-year-old 60 mortar I captured. The specific data is..." (End of this chapter)
